AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, hare CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The money market remains in a firm and active condition. There is no apparent diminution in the floating balanc►s of the discount establishments, but as the demand for accommodation, usually large at the present season, continues extensive, the Bank of England minumum is the lowest rate charged out of doors for the negotiation of the best mercan tile bills. About £28,000 in gold was taken out of the Bank on Saturday. The amount of specie on board the Ripon, which left this morning for Bombay, was £138,955. The share-listof Wilnecoote Collieries and Blue or Iron Brick Company will close on Tuesday next for London and Thursday next for the ccuntry, that of the General Financial and Estate Agency Cor poration on Thursday next for London and on Saturday next for the country. The accounts from the various manufacturing districts for the past week represent that business has been moderately active, although in some in stances the aspect of Continental politics has in a great measure checked export operations. At Manchester a fair amount of business has been transacted in both cloths and yarns, while the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field has been seasonably active. in the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham there has been an average demand for most descrip tions of goods, while in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton the dealings in articles suitable for home use have Slightly increased. Two o'CLooK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Eeuter's telegrams, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 66f. 67c. 65f. 60e. Flat. Considerable buoyancy prevailed en Saturday in the market for the English Funds, the advance, compared with the latest prices of the pre vious afternoon, representing no less than f per cent. About of this improvement, however, has been lost to-day, and affairs look less cheerful than they did at the close of last week. Consols are 901 for transfer, and 80i exactly for the account. It is very natural that a feeling of deep anxiety should be manifested in connection with politics. The failure of the Cinference has quite prepared the public for a very dis couraging Ministerial statement this evening. The monetary and commercial community are fully sensible of the danger, and there 18 consequently a desire to curtail rather than increase cu'etanding engagements. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 1; Exchequer Bills for June, ss. 4s. dis. ; India 6 per Cents., 1041 %; do 4 per Cent., 991 1; and the Debentures, 981. There is rather less firmness in the Foreign Market than at the termination of business on Sa turday. Mexican are 44 1 ; Greek, 232. ; Spanish Passive, 291 ; do.

MAIsK-LANE. The country markets, held on Saturday, were firm for wheat, and prices advanced is per quarter. Limited sup plies of spring corn were on sale, and the quotations had an upward tendency. Flour somewhat improved in value. At New York good and prime wheat continue in demand for export to Great Britain, at further enhanced rates. On the Continent the trade generally is firm. Limited supplies of home-grown produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 17,649 quarters of wheat, 5.459 barley, 31,825 oats, 1,191 peas, 2,491 linseed, 4,981 oilseeds, 2,300 maize, 50 backs, and 2,631 barrels of fi ,ur. Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of home grown produce, both from Essex and Kent, were very moderate. 0 wing to the dissolution of the Conference on Saturday, factors demanded 2s per quarter money for all qualities. Millers, however, appeared disposed to abstain from making purchases till after the course intended to be pursued by Government is made pub lic; consequently, very little business has been transacted, and at the close of business only a small portion of the sup ply had been disposed of, at an advance in prices, compared with Monday last, of is per quarter. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was very mo derate. Both continental and American qualities were held at considerably enhanced rates. Millers, however, operated to a limited extent in all descriptions, and prices ruled in several instances nominal. The small amount of business done was at an advance of is per quarter from Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm. Wheat and oats were decidedly higher in price, the former to the extent of Is per quarter. The flour trade was firm, an 3 both English and foreign qualities commanded rattier more money. The supply of English barley on sale was small—of foreign moderate. On the whole the trade was firm, at fully late rates. Beans—the supply of which on sale was small—changed hands at extreme rates. Peas fully supported last Monday's quotations, with a moderate demand. The market w,a scantily supplied. The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Beth for home-grown and foreign descriptions there was a steady demand, and prices were 6,1, in some instances is, per quarter higher than on Monday last. Malt was in fair avec age request,at late rates.

SYSTEMATIC ROBBEItIts AT LICENSED VIC MALLERS. —George Lloyd, a well dressed man, wearing a black moustache and beard, and who gave the address 23, Northumberland-street, Marylebone, and described himself as a painter and plumber, Was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a half•pint measure, the property of Mr. Geo. Osborne, of the Adam's Arms, Hampstead-street, Fitzroy square, other measures being found in his possession. Burgess, 83 E, said that on Friday evening he wont to the prisoner's lodgings in Bu c ki ng h am -street, Maryleb one , and there saw a pint measu re, a half-pint, and sev e r a l pieces of metal, the remains of pewter pots. On the floor there was a large iron ladle, which had evidently been thrown on the floor off the fire, metal being scattered all about the room, the carpet where it had been thrown, but on which some water had been poured, was also smoking, being partly on fire. The prisoner had made his escape, and, altLough he had tried his utmost, he was not success ful in finding him until yesterday (Sunday), when he went to No. 23, Northumberland-street, Marylebone, and having waited a short time, the prisoner walked in. He told the prisoner that he should charge him with stealing a pint pot from the Adam's Arms. The prisoner said " Wait a bit," and then took two pewter measures from his pocket, at the same time stating they were pots he had hi-J1 beer in. He then took the pri soner into custody when he offered him (the constable) Gs., telling hint that he would also get £2 from his brother, which he would also give him to let him go. At the room the prisoner was also occupying in Northumberland -street, he found a frying-pan with the remains of pewter in it. On the way to the station the prisoner said the ladle was his property, and on his telling him that he had been to his other lodging in Buckingham-street, he said that he had left that place because it was getting too warm for him. He found on the prisoner some silver money and some pieces of pewter, Mr George Osborn, of the Adam's Arms, Hampstead street, Fitzroy-square, identified one of the measures as his property, and said the prisoner was in his house en Friday afternoon. Mr Thomas Harris, of the "Warwick Arms, Lisson grove, also identified a measure. The prisoner was at his house yesterday, and in the evening the measure was missed. John Whiting, barman to Mr Woods, of the Pitt's Head, corner of Paddington-street, identified a measure as the property of his employer. The prisoner was at the house yesterday at one o'clock, and in the evening the measure was missed. Mr F. Davey, of the Lord Nelson, Upper Charlotte street, said the prisoner called at his house and took away his metal water jug, went to the Adam's Arms, and there dropped it sad on picking it up said he had it to repair, and that he should be happy to repair any of the landlord's. Mr Knox having cautioned tie prisoner, he said that all the measures he had from the different houses with beer in them, and that as for melting lead, he did that on his premises as a plumber. Mr Knox committed him for trial on all the charges. THAMES. A SILLY CAMIN.—Mary Miller, a Ratcliff-highway girl, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with steal ing a silver watch, valued at £6, and 30s in silver, from the person of John Perfect, the master of the sloop Ebenezer, lying in the London dock. She was also charged with biting Alfred Herbert, No 210 H. It appeared that Captain Perfect was out on a cruise a few days since, and met with the prisoner, who took him in tow, and he accompanied her to a public-house in Ratcliff highway, where he treated her with lots of grog. A couple of darkeys, as Ethiopian serenaders (white men with their faces blackened) indulged the couple with music, and Captain Perfect, who was quits delighted with their strains, took from his pocket 13 or 14 half-crowns and gave them some money. He fell asleep directly after wards, and when he was aroused by the landlotd, his sweet heart was gone, the musicians had vanished, and his silver watch, valued at £6, and all his money had disappeared, His go'd chain was hanging loose in front of him. The prisoner was subsequently taken into custody. She resisted being searched by NI rs Crosier, the female searcher, and assaulted her. Herbert, a constable, No. 210 H, went to the assistance of Mrs Crosier, and the prisoner attacked him and bit his hand, Mr Joseph Levy, the landlord of the Kettle Drum, Ratcliff-highway, said the captain of the Ebenezer was only in his house a few moments. He was informed the two darkeys took Captain Perfect's watch, and the prisoner took his money. _ _ _ Mr Partridge said the captain was a silly fellow to go to sleep in a public -house with money and a silver watch with gold chain about him. Ile was only surprised that the gold chain was not stolen. It would be useless to send this case for trial. He discharged the prisoner as far as the felony was concerned, and committed her to prison for a month for the assault. MY SISTER'S GOLD Waact3.—Amelia Harwood, a well known thief, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with stealing a gold watch, value £lO, a silk neckerchief, and a silk pocket-handkerchief from the person of Thos. Croxon, a seaman, of No. 3, Forest-vale, Sydenham. The prosecutor said he had been at sea seven years. He lived with his sister in Forest -vale. On Friday he came to Ratcliff-highway to see the fun and the girls. He borrowed his sister's gold watch to wear and look smart. He met the prisoner, and she took him home to 3, Elbow-lane, Shadwell. He soon fell asleep, and when he awoke his sister's gold watch, his n eckerchief, his handkerchief, his i c purse and 25s in silv er were missing. He accused the it.'' She a e prisoner with taking hi s property and money, and she said "If I don't give up everything delivered to him his relating to his sister's go ld watch, and another duplicate relating to hie silk neck erc h ief.

THE FEDERAL AND CoN/FED!RATE LOSSES IN VIRGINIA. —The -Richmond Dispatch of June 9 gives the following comparative estimate of the losses in the two armies.--" Wre think it may be safely a sserted that, since war first became known to ma n ki nd, no General ever sacri , heed his men so recklessly, so rem orselessly, and to so l i ttle purpose as Gen. Grant. He started from his camp on the north side e t the Rappahannock Hula more than a month ago with 130,000 men. Hs has been reinforced, according to the staterneuts of his friends, by more than 80,000 eince that time—viz , Stanton says he sent him 25,000 veterans after the battle of the 12th of May; Butler has sent him 20,000, and prisoners say he has received 40,000 from Ooio and other sources, making a total of 85 , 000 . Yet his army at t hi s dttuyr,cienslhe qinien of those best qualified to judge, does not ignet e xceed 100,000 men, an d i s certainly greatly i n f er i or i n a um y bers to what it was when he started on his crusade. He lost 75,0 00 in Spottsyl vania, and his losses in Hanover cannot have fallen very far short of 25,000, Thus he has sacrificed 100,000 men, the flower not only of his own troops, but of the whole United States army. In return he has effected nothing, absolutely nothing. Lee's entire loss since the campaign opened does not amount to 17,000, all told, killed, wounded, and missing. He bas never once been forced from a position, and has only fallen back when his enemy, despairing of victory, btu attempted to slide off to his left, and get in his rear, without fut ther fighting. Grant in the meantime has been brought up before M'Clellan's old lines beyond the Chickahonainy, and is not able to take a tingle step in advance. He has thrown away 100,000 men to obtain what he could have hadior nothing." •11 A METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our markets to-day was tolerably w ell supplied with foreign stock, but its general quality was inferior. Sales, however, progressed steadily at very full prices. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate, and there was a falling off in quality compared with several previous weeks. The re ceipts from Aberdeen were 92, from Fifeshire, &c., 212 Scots and crosses in excellent condition. Prime Scots, crosses, &c., changed hands freely at an advance of 24 per Blbs. Most other breeds were quiet at late rates. The ge neral top figure was 58 per Bibs. From Norfolk, Suffulk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,900 Scots and crosses, including a few short horns ; from other parts of England, 9,,0 various breeds ; front Scotland, 304 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 90 oxen and heifers. There was about an average number of sheep in the pens ; but most breeds come to hand in middling condition. Prime Downs and hall-ureds moved off steadily at full prices ; but inferior breeds met a slow sale at barely late rates. The general top figure was 5s 2d per 81bs. A few very superior Downs i ealised 5s 4d. Prime lambs commanded full quotations with a steady demand. Interior lambs were dull on former terms. Calves were in moderate supply, and slow request at late rates, viz., from 4s to 5s per B.bs. The pork trade was heavy on farmer terms.

Although the bine is making slow prog-ess, the accounts from the plantations to-day aro favourable, and they state that very little blight has as yet made its appearance. The foleiness doing in our market is chiefly confined to good and fi ne hops, of home as well as foreign growth, for immediate consumption, at full prices, Inferior hops. however, are a dull inquiry. Last week's import amounted to 126 biles bales from New York. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. These markets are moderately supplied with new pota toes ; for wheat there is a steady demand, at from 5s to 83 per cwt.

The failure of the C nference and the warlike aspect of political affairs have been productive of depression in the b wool trade. The demand for English wool has cousiderably fallen off, and Priece 143 . v,.0 ad a downward tendency; but in Day, SPORTING NOTES, The 0 iiham meeting last week was well a tienaed by the Upper Ten Thousand, but the Fields for the various races were comparatively small. The Hurstborno Stakes opened the ball, an,: produced five runners of such equal pretensions that their owners had not the courage to stand them, 3 to 1 being offered on the field at the fall of the flag. Eugenie and Purity apparently had the most admirers, and left off equal favourites ; but the majority of backers being afraid to take them singly, coupled them, and then they were doomed to defeat by Discretion, who, it will be recol lected, cut up very badly at Harpenden and again at lUmpton, where she ran second to Victorious by permis sion. Ihe South-Western Plate which followed, brought out the lot entered, and resulted in a second turn-up for the fielders by the success of Signal, a good-looking three year-old colt, by Vedette out of Maid of Lincoln. He was a cast-off from T, Brown's stable, having been got rid of for 10 soya as utterly worthless; but from the very easy manner in which he cut down his field, comprising two such warm favourites as Lady Nichol and the highly-tried Hope, from John Day's, he readily found a new owner in Mr G. Angell, at 190 guineas, and thereby benefited the fund 160 soya. The Dogmerefield Park Stakes presented in its results one of those enigmas that occasionlly turn up in racing, and which completely upset public running Out of the dozen appearing on the telegraph, a third of the number were in request in the ring; Purity, from the unaccountable manner in which she cut up in the opening race of the day, was almost friendless, her starting solely depending upon her trainer, who could not believe in the truth of that race, and who, although she was meeting. Discretion upon 21b worse terms than on the first occae'on, expressed his opinion that the running would be reversed. His opinion was correct, as Mr NighLingall's filly was never in the race, Purity winning in the most hollow style by a length from Doeford, the latter finishing three lengths in advance of Virtuous. The Handicap, as compared with former years, was a great failure, and produced but five run ners out of the dozen coloured on the card; but if the field was scant it was amply compensated for by the close and exciting contest it produced between the ever-doubtful Aurelian and the game Redcap, the pretensions of the two being so evenly balanced that each of their respective owners hedged his stake 'upon his adversary. The result was in favour of Aurelian, Goater, we imagine, out-riding T. Clark at the finish. The Bibury Meeting was also well attended. A £lOO Plate, one mile, was the first on the card, and the first of those surprises which the backers of favou rites experienced during the day. It looked "a moral" for Manrico, but Principal, with Bst 61b, had the best of it all the way, and won as he liked, both the favourite and Little Savage never having a chance. In the 10 soya Sweepstakes the clover division quite overlooked Overstone, and pinned their faith on Reindeer and Walloon, the latter of whom made the running, Overstone coming out at the dip and winning in a canter. He was bought in for a pony above his selling price. In the Five Furlongs Sweepstakes Becky Sharp and Volatile, wbo had a see-saw for the position of favourite, cut up very badly; indeed there were only two in it, Vabalanthus and Confederate, Lord Uxbridge's colt winning, after a good race, by half a length, Lord Ports mouth's filly has not improved on her two-year-old form. There was a fair muster in the Champagne, and one or two very good-looking ones among the lot; Lisette, on the strength of her racing look, being backed at evens against the field. She is by Yellow Jack, and has fine action. Missionary is an undeniably fine colt, but his day is net yet. The Duke of St. Albans had something very neat in Trapeze, and Cordelia and Rothomago looked as if they could gallop a bit, hich one of them did, for the favourite being beaten at the dip the issue appeared to be left to Missionary and the Fr each young one, until at the stand a brown filly was seen to shot out from the ruck, which proved to be Cordelia, the stable companion of Lisette : she soon disposed of the two leaders and won easily. This was another great turn for the fielders, though some of the leading bookmakers grumbled a good deal, and declared they had ben done badly; in fact, the betting was limited all day. The Bibury Stakes used to see a better field than the four who saddled for it. Welbeck and Suspicion were about equal favourites, the former with the call. General Hess looked going well, but retired at the distance, and Mr Bevili's horse won very easily. The first year of the Sixth Stockbridge Biennial, which on this occasion was included in the Bibury pro gramme, was the interesting event of the day, and appro priately wound up the proceedings. Report had credited Lord Hastings with "a clinker" in The Duke, and though the Danebury stable had not carried its colours in front as yet, there was some chance that there would be no mistake this time. Fifteen came to the post, and it is sufficient here to say that it was a very easy affair for the f avourite, who came through his horses, and with only Wild Boy—whom he shook off without difficulty —near him, won in a canter. He was immediately after wade second favourite for the Derby, but Liddington will beat him whenever they meet. At the Stockbridge Meeting Cambuscan and Ely fought their Derby battle over again, where the latter reversed positions with Lord Stamford's horse. The Stockbridge Cup next claimed attention—and a very pretty thing, by the way, the said Cup is, elegant in design and execution, and calling up bad comparisons with the vulgar and poverty stricken thing that did duty for a cup at Ascot this year. .r his, again, was a surprise. Gemrca ran very badly, suc cumbing to the weight; Old Orange Girl, the second favouri.e, not showing well in the race, which fell to The Clown, Birch Broom, who looked going well at the dis tee— a-aa. ooltea epee. rernaps the Beaufort Handicap was the race best worth seeing, from the magni ficent way in which Fairwater disposed of all her competi tors, with the top weight of 9st, over two as severe miles, if not the severest, as there are in England. Redcap, to whom she gave 3st minus 21b, made the running for the first mile and a half, when Custance sent the old mare to the front, and Catchiem Alive, and indeed everything else being out of the race at the distance, she won in gallant style with certainly a stone in hand a great performance. It was a splendid sight to see her gallop as she did over the heavy ground with a free action.. not exhibited by any other animal. A sad accident in the next race threw a gloom over the afternoon's proceedings. Young Clark, a very promising boy from the Danebury stable, was riding Lord Ronald, who bolted with him, flung him heavily, and falling upon him, injured him so severely as to necessitate his being immediately conveyed to John Day's house in a carriage in a state of insensibility, the surgeon who attended him giving but faint hopes of his re covery. Lord Ronald had been the favourite prior to this, but it was now regarded as a certainty for Herchell, from his previous performance at Bath and Salisbury, and he woe, as he liked. On Friday the Visitors' Plate saw a „d ;. ao , between Olivia and Catch-'em-Alive, the 'rn are ' w i nning cleverly in the last 200 yards. General l am broke down. It looked a very good thing for Des, oosens on paper in the 5 Soya Sweepstakes, and Perry getting away in front with the best of the start, and. only Erythia near him, won in a canter. Another accident marked to-day's proceedings. The Tribute filly flang Mordan over the rails on her way to the post, and gave him a severe shaking, but happily no bones were broken. The Troy Stakes produced a good-looking field. Gardevisure, Tennyson, Koenig, and Sydmonton (a very neat-looking colt of Lord Portsmouth's) amongst them. Gardevisure of course was the favourite, though it was looked upon as just upon the cards that the duke might pull it off with Koenig. He was looking very well and im proved since Ascot. Tennyson seemed a little above him self, and as if he did not quite like the work. Sydmonton, who played Wells such a trick on Wednesday, showed again to. day, and behaved better, a very neat-looking bay, with white legs and many good points of a racer about him. The race was a good one between the favourite and Koenig, Fordham coming with one of his rushes and nearly snatch ing victory from Gardevisure, whose jockey appeared to us to draw it a little too fine, winning only by a head. She is certainly a beauty, with a low gliding untiring action, that tells on this severe course. This race is to be run again at Newmarket during the Second October Meeting. The Uxbridge Plate was thought just the distance for Lady Clifden ; but she did not run kindly, the race being left to Soapstone and Confederate, the former appearing to have the best of sit at the distance, hut declining when called upon, and Confederate wan easily. In the Gentleman's Derby Mr. Bevill %vented us with a specimen of good riding, by brie 'ing out Joco at the finish and defeating Welbeck by a head. Neither Tippler nor Trumps showed in the ;ace, the latter being beaten off. The Stewards' Plate was a rare surprise for the London bookmakers, as Tippler's name was never mentioned in connection with the race, the only two backed being Lard Zetland and Fair• water, between whom an exciting race was anticipated. Ihe public have a decided right to know on what condi. tions Tippler walked ever, and how the stakes were divided. General Peel, Clarisaimus. and another of Lord Glas gow's horses (the Senorita colt), has been removed from old Tom Dawson's stables to John Scott's, at Mahon. The Worcester Meeting commences to-morrow, the principal event being the - Worcestershire Handioap. Fan tail and Exchequer have the best of the weights, and ought to produce the winner between them. The former is cer- lain to stay the distance, and I give her the decided pre ference of the two. On Wednesday the Northumberland Plate is set for de cision. The field will in all likelihood comprise the follow ing :—Caller Ou, Oldminster, Limosina, Borealis, Honest John, Trust, Alice, Tottenham, Baktchi Serai. Found Again, Sir Roger, Whaifinger, and Lady Trafford. Sir Roger looks way like king an absentee. Ile was made first favourite on Saturday, Lut to-day he has been seat to the outside division. It ho goes to tho post I should prefer him to anything in the race. Baktchi Serai has been heavily supported during the last week, and if money will make a horse win he ought to nearly land the good thing for his supporters. Caller Ou is not able to give the weight to Baktchi Serai. Borealis will likely rue to as sist Caller Ou. Trust has been occasionally supported, and is almost certain to get a situation, if he does not turn up the absolute winner. Alice with her light weight is bound to run forward. honest John will find the company too good. I cannot expect the same luck ss last year, when I placed the first three in precisely the same petition as the judge, but on this ocJasion he will in all likelihood place— BAKTCIII SE RAI TRUST ...

DICETRILL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening, The appearance of the lobbies leading to the House of Peers presented a veryanirnated scene this evening, in consequence of the importance attached to the statement to be made by the Secretary for Foreign Affairs relative to the positiou of matters with respect to the Dano-German war. Persons who had been fortunate enough to secure members' orders attended in large numbers, and on the opening of the strangers' gallery the rush was terrific. The interior of the house presented a very unusual appearance from the largo number of elegantly dressed ladies who filled the galleries extending the entire length of either side of the magnificent chamber. The space in front of the throne was also crowded, and altogether the scene of animation presented was one not often seen within the walls of Parliament. The attend ance of peers was very large. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 4 o'clock. THE DANO-GERMAN WAR, THE MINISTERIAL STATEMENT. Earl RUSSELL, having laid the papers upon the table, then proceeded to address their lordships, but 'for some time, owing to the buzz of excitement, the voice of the noble earl was entirely inaudible in the reporters' gallery. He said, before commenting upon the proceedings of the Conference, he would speak of what had gone before. [Here the Prince of Wales entered the house, and took his accustomed seat on the cross benches. 1 The treaty of 1862, in reference to Denmark, and the engagements then made in that and the former year with respect to the arrangements between Germany and Denmark were in their operations extremely unsatisfactory. The conse quence of the irritation which arose out of the differences between Germany and Denmark in reference to the govern ment of the Duchies was a kind of increasing irritation, and as Germany was immensely more powerful than Denmark, it was but too probable that Denmark was destined to suffer one day on account of the Duchies. The death of the King of Denmark produced an entire change of the Existing state of affairs. Upon the question of succession to the Duchies was immediately raised, by the Governments of Prussia and Austria, a somewhat singular and not very defensible course. They declared their intention of making the King of Den mark responsible for the actions of the late Ring, and in the beginning they declared to proceed to Federal execu tion, and the result was war. The struggle went on for some time when, in the interests of peace, it was thought a Conference with the Powers might put an end to such a terrible state of affairs. Her Majesty's Go vernment accordingly proposed a Conference, the arrange ment was agreed to, and the plenipotentiaries attended in due course. On the 12th of May, after the suspension of arms, he asked the Austrian and Prussian Governments what it was they asked in the interests of their subjects. Be it observed, that although Prussia and Austria had continually declared that they had certain ar rangements they insisted upon which had not been forfeited, th e y h a d agreed to specify what those engagements were. When Lord Wodr , . house went to Berlin on hi s way t o C openhagen he en , " 4 „. voured, according to his instructions, to have an eyplana tion upon this point. The reply he received was 'that the Danish Government refused to repeal the constitati on ofNov., and we shall afterwa r d s say w h at arrangemer.r3 they proposed acs and pronounce We will then judge of those arrangeme e Ctlld justify the course our opinion upon them.. Nothing a 4 at the same time they which they were pursuing, becaus were ready to carry their war • Afterwards, at a l a t er sittin measures to an e x t rem it y. 7, of the Conference, the position took this form, The DiE,E. it was affirmed by Austria and Prussia, had declared 4 . l '.at it would recognise the King of Denmark as the le gir',mate heir to the Duchies. The pleni. potentiary of Goi'many, who, in fact had greater power than either of the , plenipotentiaries of Austria or Prussia, declared tb‘at Germany would never consent to the re-con nectil'a of the Duchies with Denmark. On the 17th May tkere was a more positive declaration on the part of Austria and Prussia in the Conference, which was that they could legally recognise the King of Denmark as Sovereign of the Duchies, but that they ought to be placed under the septre of the Prince of Augustenberg, and that he should be the possessor of these for the future. This declaration they felt would be held throughout Ger many to be the wish of the German people. The proposal made by her Majesty's Government was that Germany should have the Duchies of Holstein and the southern part of Schleswig, that the German powers should not interfere in the internal affairs of Den mark, and that a general guarantee should be given by the European powers to maintain Denmark as to the rest of her possessions. The Danish Government made a declaration of this, which he thought did them the highest credit, which was that the King of Denmark had accepted the crown, and stipulating that the treaty of 1852 would be carried out. This proposition led to further deliberations, during which th ere a pp eare d t o b e no desire on the part of the Austrian, Prussian, and German powers to prevent the great calamity of war.

(Hear, hear.) THE ACCIDENT AT EGHAM. Sir R. BULKELEY asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention had been drawn to the evi dence given at the inquest en the sufferers by the late rail way accident at Eghana, by iks mr. Robert A. Scott, traffic manager of the South Western Railway, in which he says " Ordinarily, I think, there would not be the slightest danger in starting them (th e trains) at an i nterva l o f fi ve minutes, allowing the first train to make a first stoppage at a distance of eight miles. It is quite an ordinary working of the trains. Some lines allow only three minutes :" also to the evidence of Thomas Gibbard, office-porter at Egham, whose duty was to note the arrival and departure of the trains, and who st ate d " T hat t h e R oya l t ra i n (containing their Royal highnesses the Prince anti Princess of Wales) passed through Egham in the morn i ng at 12.51 ) and that Lee passed through at 1 2.47:'' Whether the President of the Board of Trade would in form the house on what lines trains were started at intervals of three minutes only : whether starting trains on the same line at intervals of three minutes was done with the know ledge and sanction of the Board of Trade : and, whether he considered the safety of their Royal Highnesses was suffi ciently protected in allowing a heavy passenger train to precede them by four minutes only ? Mr. M. GIBSON explained that the Board of Trade had no power in the matter. THE CONFERENCE, APPLIRANCE OF THE HOUSE. From an early hour both the floor of the house and the galleries were ere ;vela(' to excess, and the proceedings were invested with that animation which only anises from great political excitement. The strangers' galley was full to overflowing, and that portion of it reserved for distinguished foreigners was occupied by the leading diplomatic representatives of the principal European states. Lord PALMERSTON rose a few minutes before five o'clock, and said—lf ever there was a question that excited the feeling of this country in an unanimous manner, it was that of Denmark. (Hear, hear.) The greatest sympathy was felt throughout the country in the affairs of thtt kingdom, and the greatest desire was expressed that some arrangement should be made to termi nate the hostilities that were going on. 1e would limit his observations merely to an explanation of the docu ments that would be in the hands of hon. members to-morrow. In order, however, to make the house fully acquainted pith all the tacts it would be necessary to enter into some de tails. (Hear, hear.) With reference to the treaty of 1852, upon wbi.ch so much of this question turned, it was negotiated by the principal powers cf Europe, and was founded on a desire to establish equitable relations between Denmark and the Germania • Confederation. The law of succession admitted females to the throne of Denmark, but it was limited to males in the duchy of Hol stein. It was, however, arranged that the King of Denmark should have the power of nominating a successor to the throne of the duchy. In reference to the historical portion of the subject he drew the attention of the house to the fact that the Linke of Augustenburg had his property confiscated and disposed of his political right for a pecuniary con sideration, and therefore, as far as he was concerned, he had no ground of complaint. The treaty to which he referred was calculated to promote the peace of Europe, and would no doubt have Effected that object if all the parties to it had been animated by a spirit of justice. Having referred to the mixed German and Den mark element in the population of the Duchies, and the occupation of the Duchies by the Federal troops of Germany, he said that the course adopted by the German Powers was an admission that the Kings of Denmark was Duke of Holstein. The objeet of this country was merely to effect an amicable arrangement between the belligerent parties, and in pro posing the Conference they were actuated merely by that object, (Hear, hear.) Having gone in detail into:the different facts connected with the proceedings of the Conference, the noble lord said that under the circumstances, notwithstanding the sympathy that might be felt for Denmark, it was not deemed advisable to recom mend her Majesty to go to war on behalf of that kingdom, and he mentioned that the King of Denmark declined any arbitration on the part of this country. The real question at issue was the possession of the duchy of Schleswig, and not the independence of Denmark. If the latter were threatened he would not say that this country would not feel itself called on to interfere. (Hear, hear.) Mr, DISRAELI expressed himself dissatisfied with the statement of the noble lord, and said he would take an early opportunity of taking the opinion of the house on the foreign policy of the Government.

A STORY OF LORD BROUGHAM.—Once upon a time, in the palmy days of Brougham, Russell, and Whiggery, her Majesty's Ministers visited the brewery, and ate a rumpsteak luncheon in one of the great vats. This feat accomplished, the representative Whigs and big. wigs made an inspection of the brewery, and at every step of their progress Lord Brougham acted as expounder, demonstrator, and spokesman, so that it soon became a question with his friends whether Truman, Hanbury, Buxton, and Company had not been suddenly rolled into one and compressed within his lordship's mighty cranium, for he actually appeared to know more about the place, the machinery, the chemistry, and even the trade, than the practical heads of the several departments. Hare they encountered a force pump, used for raising water, or no matter for what purpose. His lordship at once explained the peculiarities of the engine, its capacity and capability; talked about it, in fact, just like an experienced engineer. So it was whichever way they turned, till they came to the mashing vats, and there it was expected he would break down. But no ; he knew all about the chemistry of worts, explained off hand the effects of temperature and fer mentation on the flavour of ales, the influence of soils and seasons on the qualities of malt and hops, and thence on the values of the brewing.; and, is fact, illuminated Mr. Booth, the then brewer to the firm, and one of the soundest operative chemists of the day. Then among the merry party there ran a buss to this effect, " Wait till Brougham gets among the horses—he knows nothing &bout horses ; we shall have the laugh of him there." Yes, catch a weasel asleep, or a Scotch philo sopher daest or gold; and then tell it in Oath and else where. Brougham knew as much about the horses as the master of the stables ; could select instanter those that were strongest, those that were weakest, those purest bred, and those of corrupt lineage; and thereupon the party gave up all hope of disdovering his weak point, and allowed king to partioips.te in the convivialities of the occasion without further torture.--Iltiberd's Gardening Magasine. OBSOLETE PUNISDAIENTS.—Our old chroniclers speak very familiarly of " pillorising, carting, riding, whipping," and these course forms of punishment seem to have been impartially administered. In 1560, Mr. Church and his man were set on the pillory at Westminster (the master was a justice of the peace), for wrong-doing in his office and for slandering the Privy Council. Soon after, a skinner of Southwark underwent the like ordeal, with a paper over his head Conta i n i ng his indictment, whence it appeared that he had long and divers im md e o c r e a i l ve p d rac t t h ic e es. p public ic is6 b 3 y , a s o w e t o h m s a a y n i n t g hat kept the Rosa Tavern at St. Katherine's Tower, for having raw and cooked meat in her house in Lent, appeared in the pillory. while four women who partook of the forbidden meats, were set in the stocks all night. Women convicted of being in curable scolds were paraded through the streets seated on ass or horse hack, w ith their faces to the tail, and wearing a sort of gag or btidle in their mouths, so contrived that when they attempted to speak it would severely lacerate the tongue of the eul'aer. For yet more culpable incontinence, the miserable creature was ex posed in some public thoroughfare holding a lighted taper, her fact bare and an accusatory label on her head. While she implored mercy for her tranagreseions. We doubt whether the moral effect of such exhibitions was at all satis factory. Te eat flesh in Lent without a dispensation was held to be a very serious clime. In pursuance of a procla mation by the Queen and Council, March Ist, 1559, no ee might expose fl as h t o b e eaten in L ent, or at any of tablesn e yothe rtimeforbidden by the Church. Nor ware any butchers allowed to slaughter animals for food during the sam e period, under penalty of a heavy fine, or to stand on the pillory for 6 hours, and euffer imprisonment for 10 days. —City Press.
